A little something for all the folks who hang out in the FARK Sports tab:
After the jump…
For people who can’t stand Tebow hype: you can now skip the first 582 words of this week’s column. For Tebow fans or those indifferent to Tebow: “…football is a team game”. (Thank you, Captain Obvious.) “God does not care who wins football games.” And with those two points made, you can now skip the first 582 words of this week’s column.
Molly. That’s a nice name. We kind of like the name “Molly”.
Sweet and sour: Texans-Titans, Saints-Colts, Martz!
Too bad we can’t link directly to TMQ’s item about the Raiders, their quarterbacks, and the draft choices they’ve traded away. But “…they did get six interceptions in the deals” made us chuckle.
Creep! “Coaches — if you suspect a player has sustained a concussion, not only remove him from the game, but take away his helmet.” Stupid Chargers. Christmas creep. Detroit’s defensive line plays dirty.
Dog beer? “…made with human-grade ingredients“. As opposed to what, exactly? Don’t eat your deodorant. The views and opinions expressed are exclusively our own, all our own. Fun, 91 yards, touchdown.
Chicken-<salad> punts: Vikings. Matt Forte vs. Chris Johnson in the Network Battle Of “Give Me More Money”.
“TMQ Readers Know Too Much”. Some good thoughts (that we hadn’t thought of) on cave paintings, “”Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher” wasn’t a Motown song you maroon, and 2001 was a long ways off in 1948.
We caught the very end of the Seattle-Cleveland game, and were thankful that was all we caught.
“Televised public hearings would turn the supercommittee into yet another political sideshow.” But it is really a good thing, Gregg, for the business of the government to be done in private (barring extraordinary circumstances)? For someone who has beaten the drums in favor of open government in the past, TMQ seems oddly un-skeptical in this case.
“[Jacksonville – Baltimore] was like a root canal in cleats.” If that’s so, Gregg, what was Seattle-Cleveland like? Blown coverages.
“So even if the pickup truck actually could support the nose wheel of a landing jetliner, and even if the truck somehow could drive to precisely the correct spot synchronized with the descending plane, the pickup would need to be moving at least 150 mph.” Thanks, Gregg, but FARK already beat you to this analysis.
Badgers, Badgers, Badgers, gimmick, gimmick, gimmick.
Football is safe, and keeps getting safer. But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying to make it safer. “…a teenager has a one in 1 million chance of dying in an hour behind the wheel, compared to a one in 27 million chance of dying in an hour of football contact.”
George Washington University remembers a soldier sleeping next to them, and the Glazier family is a bunch of jerks. So are the officials flagging “excessive celebration” penalties. On the other hand, Damascus is a bunch of good sports.
Indiana of Pennsylvania 35, Gannon 7. California of Pennsylvania 32, Mercyhurst 26 in overtime. Mount Union won, but only 27-7. Marian, on the other hand, beat Concordia of Michigan 77-3, and has won other games 56-0, 52-0 and 47-0.
Single worst game of the season – so far: Texans -Titans.
Tune in next week, when we’ll hear TMQ say “I drank what?” Or maybe that was Socrates.
